Corvair - Full color 10" x 13" ad with a picture of the 1960 Corvair De Luxe 700. The ad says that "Here's the compact car that threw the book away!" and then goes into detail on that subject. It claims that "The key to this small miracle is America's first and only rear-mounted aluminum engine - a lightweight 6 that's so revolutionary it can be packaged with the transmission and drive gears as a single unit. With power components tucked away in the rear, the Corvair's floor is practically flat. There's plenty of room for everyone, front and rear, including the passengers in the middle. That means you get the kind of 6-passenger comfort you'll find on no other American compact car". The descriptions go on before ending by calling it "The happiest driving compact car". | February 8, 1960 Life magazine |

Corvair - Full color 9 3/4" x 13 10/2" ad that lets us get acquainted with the 1960 Corvairs. At the top of the ad is a drawing of a Chevrolet Corvair being driven with at least two people in a family. It is hard to tell because the inside of the car seems to have quite a bit of items strewn everywhere. The headline claims that it is a "Small wonder - with a wonderful ride". It then says that "In a Corvair even a ho-hum trip through town can be a happy experience. You not only don't mind the traffic, it's kind of a challenge to your Corvair's lighthearted handling and nimble reflexes. Same goes for parking. You'll get a real boot out of driving this car. And practical, too. Air-cooled rear engine (no water, no antifreeze). Virtually flat floor. Independent suspension at all four wheels. Low price. Little gas. And a fold-down rear seat is standard. But we know why you'll really want a Corvair. Just drive one and you'll know, too". The ad then goes on to make more extensive explanations on these items. |

Chevrolet Corvair - Full color 10" x 13" ad says that "Chevy Corvair can please your pocketbook...and then some". The ad shows the five different versions of the car that was available. It shows 1) the Corvair 500 4-Door sedan, 2) the spacious Greenbriar Sport Wagon, 3) the Lakewood 500 Station Wagon, 4) the sporty Monza Club Coupe and 5) the immensely practical Corvair 700 4-Door Sedan. The text says that "In case you weren't listening when the word got around, the '61 Corvair's got a positive mania for nickel-nursing. Right off the bat, coupes and sedans are priced lower than last year. And every model goes beaucoup miles on a gallon. And certainly no other U.S. car is going to touch Corvair for skimping on antifreeze bills and radiator repair costs, because Corvair's air-cooled engine doesn't bother with 'em. Antifreeze and radiators, we mean. But we secretly think you'd like Corvair even if it didn't save like crazy. Mainly because it's so much fun to drive. Light steering, beautifully balanced braking, rear-engine traction - things like that. And because you get plenty of room for you and your stuff. And because of a whole bunch of things we could tell you about. But we'll let your Chevrolet dealer do the talking. (You could silence him with three magic words: "I'll take one") He's ready when you are". |
